Bloomberg News released a report Wednesday morning, which says courtroom proceedings are continuing in San Antonio where the family has a Texas-based bank and several car dealerships.

According to the report, a court order was filed at the end of January by daughter Renee Benson and her two children Rita and Ryan LeBlanc in a San Antonio courtroom to temporarily bar Benson from locking them out of their offices and accounts. On Wednesday, the three plan to ask the Texas judge to maintain a temporary freeze.

"After receiving a terse kiss-off note via e-mail in December and failing to reach Benson, the heirs raced to courthouses in two cities to try to contain the damage," Bloomberg reports.

In New Orleans, the family is continuing legal proceedings after requesting a mental evaluation for Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson. They also want the judge to appoint a conservator to manage his personal and business affairs.

In January, the battle over Tom Benson's fortune began when Renee Benson, Rita and Ryan LeBlanc were informed that they would not be in charge of the family empire, which is anchored by his ownership of the Saints and the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans.

Court documents filed by the descendants suggest Benson is incapable of making significant decisions -- including that which names his third wife, Gayle Benson, as the primary heir to his fortune.

Tom Benson followed up with a statement, saying he "will vigorously defend my decisions and the businesses I have built. The false accusations in this suit further support the actions I have taken in changing the succession and transfer of ownership."

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday added his voice to the mix in the family dust-up clouding the future of the New Orleans Saints.

Goodell -- speaking at a pre-Super Bowl news conference -- said team owner Tom Benson remained in "complete control" of the team. He also expressed his confidence that the 87-year-old franchise owner was in command of his faculties and able to make sound decisions.

Late last week, Dawn Benson Jones weighed in, whose father, Bob Benson, was Tom Benson's only son. Bob Benson died in 1985, and Jones resides in Austin, Texas, with her husband and their children.

She places blame for the turmoil on Renee Benson and grandchildren Rita Benson LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc. Jones notes:

"It has become apparent over the last few days that they have no intention of stopping their relentless attacks, so at this time I would like to publicly state my support for my grandfather, Tom Benson."

Jones said she has spent time and been in communication with Tom Benson and his wife, Gayle, who stands to inherit most of his estate upon his passing. The statement suggests that she found her grandfather to be of sound mind in recent conversations.
